Wolves vs Brighton Preview and Team News
Wolves Team News
Wolverhampton Wanderers’ recent run reads like revival scripture. Rayan Aït-Nouri scored inside 85 seconds and a ferocious 5-2-3 press, starving the Spurs’ build-up, dismantled Tottenham 4-2 on April 13. They beat Man United 1-0 and thrashed Leicester 3-0. Matheus Cunha thrived in Vítor Pereira’s vertically stacked right channel.
Even in last Friday’s 1-0 defeat at Manchester City, the visitors struck the post twice.

Pereira has established a consistent 3-4-2-1 formation for Wolves, which features a narrow mid-block for defense and an attacking style that emphasizes pace with high wing-backs and two roaming No. 10s.
Pereira’s strategy focuses on minimizing the space between the back three defenders and the double pivot of João Gomes and André, keeping the team compact while allowing for quick transitions. Wolverhampton employs a low-risk positional block combined with vertical one-touch breakouts, effectively overwhelming disorganized opposition presses.

Matheus Cunha became the league’s most influential dual-threat forward, thriving in Pereira’s fluid front three.
Yerson Mosquera, Enso Gonzalez, Sasa Kalajdzic, and Sam Johnstone are all sidelined due to various injuries.

Brighton Team News
Brighton’s last month has been quite chaotic. A 4-2 loss against Brentford revealed some transitional naivety. However, an exciting 3-2 comeback victory over West Ham just eight days later demonstrated the potential of head coach Fabian Hürzeler’s daring 4-2-4 formation, with Mitoma and Baleba scoring in the dying minutes of the match.
In a 1-1 draw against Newcastle on May 4, Brighton missed out on a potential victory when Alexander Isak converted a penalty in the 89th minute.

Hürzeler’s squad is committed to his vertical, counter-pressing approach, which transitions from a 4-2-4 formation during deep build-up play to a 3-2-5 once the full-backs push beyond the wingers. This structure involves man-to-man pressure and quick midfield rotation.
One of their main weaknesses is how one direct pass behind the advanced double-pivot can undo the press, even while Welbeck’s movement shreds marking attack lines.
James Milner (calf), Georginio Rutter (ankle), and Ferdi Kadioglu (hamstring) remain out. João Pedro is being “managed” after a minor groin twinge but is travelling.

Bet hereWolves vs Brighton Prediction
- Pick: 1X (Wolves won`t lose)
- Odds: 1.57 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Wolves 2-1 Brighton
Wolverhampton are poised to secure at least one point against Brighton. Under Vítor Pereira, they’ve transformed into a formidable side. They’ve remained unbeaten at Molineux in their last four Premier League home matches, including three consecutive victories.
Their recent 1-0 loss to Manchester City was a narrow defeat, underscoring their solid play even against top-tier teams.
Brighton, on the other hand, have struggled on the road, failing to win any of their last three away games and conceding at least two goals in each. Their defensive vulnerabilities could be exploited by the Wolves’ dynamic attacking options like Matheus Cunha and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.
Wolves vs Brighton Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total Over 2
- Odds: 1.32 (22Bet)
Brighton’s recent fixtures have been particularly high-scoring. Their previous six away meetings in the Premier League featured over 2.5 goals, with a trend of open matches on the road.
Defensively, the visitors have conceded in each of their last nine league events, averaging 1.60 goals per game.

Wolves have also contributed to high-scoring affairs. Their recent 4-2 victory over Tottenham and a 3-0 win against Leicester demonstrate their attacking skills. However, they’ve conceded an estimated 1.71 balls in every encounter at home, indicating potential for goals at both ends.
So, a Total Over 2 Goals bet appears well-supported. Both teams’ tendencies toward high-scoring matches suggest that this fixture will likely follow suit.
